THE BLACK THREAD is the dramatic story of a young woman’s desperate attempt to escape the clutches of her cruel father. Set, in 1895, against the dark backdrop of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal, intrigue and emotion combine in this unforgettable historical novel.
Amy Dodd has never met her father but longs for the day he will return home. But when that day finally arrives, her nightmares begin. After the death of her mother, she alone suffers her father’s abuse. She knows that if she is to survive she must get as far away as possible from the man she fears. To escape, she takes the canal’s towing path in the hope he will not follow her.
After being taken aboard a passing barge, Amy finds safety for a while, but after a chance encounter with a stranger, she is confronted with some shocking facts about her father. Compelled to learn more, she returns along the tow path to Leeds but in doing so steps back into the lion's den.
With the help of a young engineer from the local mill, she seeks to uncover the distasteful truth that is hidden in her past. But there is no limit to Amos Dodd’s evil and he pursues his daughter relentlessly.
THE BLACK THREAD is “A well written story with mysterious twists and shocking turns that gives a feeling of factuality rather than fiction.” Jean Beven, CANAL CUTTINGS.

Honestly, I got this book for free through one of her promotions quite a while back, and it's been sitting in my Kindle collecting dust. Now, I feel bad that it took me so long to get to it.This is a story of a young girl named Amy Dodd living in England in the late 1800s. Amy had disillusion of grandeur about who and what her absentee father was, and when she found out the truth about the man, it nearly destroyed her. Luckily, she mustered the strength to change her situation and by the end of the story, you'll feel quite pleased that her reality wasn't exactly her reality. On the negative side, I found the descriptions of the landscapes and scenes a bit wordy for my taste, and I caught myself skipping over a large amount of paragraphs just to get back to the story. I tend to be on the impatient side, so that's not a criticism of Ms. Muir's writing in the least, only of my personality. On the positive side, it was a really, really good story with a great plot twist. I read the book in one sitting and would recommend it to anyone as a rainy-day read. You'll find yourself rooting for poor Amy and cheering at the end.

The Black Thread edition by Margaret Muir Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Before you find a prince. We book lovers know all too well how this applies to us. Well, I just found 4 princes in a row, so I was bound to meet up with one big, ugly, warty frog, and this book was it. It had a puny people story line -- almost like an afterthought -- but was mostly all about canals, boats and boat-locks. So if you want to read all about boats and canals, this book is for you. Otherwise toss it into a swamp for other frogs to enjoy.
I enjoyed this book very much. No skipping over uncomfortable sexual issues. Just a really enjoyable story. Will be reading more by this author.
This story is set in a time that is almost unimaginable. The girl's journey is tough but there is ultimately a happy ending.
The beginning moved a little slowly but as I got into the book, I found that all the information given helped bring the book together. A very nice an interesting read. There is so much I didn't know about this time period and the book helped. I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you!!
This was the first novel by Margaret Muir that I have read. It was wonderful. I hope she follows with another of "The Black Thread" I really needed it to be a little longer.
I recomend this as a just can't put it down story.
Although a bit wordsy I did enjoy the premise of the novel although I was puzzled by Amos rapid obsession with Amy other than obvious abuse. A novel about overcoming tragedy, abuse, and the rapid intrusion of the Industrial revolution. Toss in a little bit of romance along with historical references and I believe you have a good novel.
The Black Thread by Margaret Muir is one of those gorgeously rare stories that keeps bubbling along with unfolding detail designed to capture and tease all who take pride at being able to visualise what will come next.
Set in Yorkshire just prior to the 20th century this book will engage the reader with beautiful descriptive local detail woven into a well timed fictional saga of deprivation, loss, escape, fear and discovery. Plus The Black Thread holds an extra treat via a very standard build-up to the usual happy-ever-after being interrupted and replaced with the most unexpected and grandly wonderful catch and capture imaginable. Simply marvellous; five stars.
